WHILE COMING TO A STOP, AT LOW SPEED ON DRY PAVEMENT MY VEHICLE'S ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) ACTIVATED AND DESPITE CONTINUED PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE THE VEHICLE ADVANCED ~8 FEET BEYOND THE INTENDED STOPPING POSITION, NEARLY HITTING A STOPPED SCHOOL THE PROCESS. INTRIGUED BY THE PROBLEM I EXPERIMENTED TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE INTERMITTENT PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL WEEKS BEFORE, FOR SAFETY REASONS, DEFEATING THE ABS BY REMOVING THE FUSE THAT POWERS THE CONTROL MODULE. AS I HAVE NOW DISCOVERED, ACTIVATION OF THE ABS TO LOW SPEEDS CONTINUES TO BE…

THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL NEARLY FELL OFF OUR 2002 YUKON 1500 SLT. WE HAD JUST STOPPED TO PAY A TOLL ON THE MAINE TURNPIKE. AS WE DROVE OUT OF THE TOLL BOOTH, MY HUSBAND HAD DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE. A TERRIBLE GRINDING NOISE CAME FROM THE LEFT FRONT END OF OUR CAR. THE ABS LIGHT FLASHED ON. GRIPPING THE WOBBLY STEERING WHEEL, MY HUSBAND GUIDED THE VEHICLE ACROSS SEVERAL LANES OF TRAFFIC INTO THE NARROW BREAKDOWN LANE. THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY OFF THE VEHICLE. CARS AND TRUCKS WHIZZED BY DANGEROUSLY CLOSE AS MY HUSBAND TR…

AFTER GETTING CUT OFF AND HAVING TO MAKE A PANIC STOP THE BRAKE LINES IN MY TRUCK BURST CAUSING THE PEDAL TO GO TO THE GROUND AND OFFER NO BRAKING POWER. I THEN TRIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WHICH ALSO DIDN'T WORK DUE TO THE BURST LINES. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO STEER INTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO A LOWER GEAR TO SLOW DOWN BEFORE PUTTING IT INTO PARK AT 25 MPH AND SKIDDING TO A STOP. AFTER GETTING HOME AND DOING RESEARCH AND LEARNED OF YOUR INVESTIGATION. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AS I ALMOST DIED. *TR

ON 2/24/2008 I TRIED TO MOVE THE AUTOMATIC GEAR SELECT LEVER ON MY 2002 GMC YUKON XL TO THE PARK POSITION. THE GEAR SELECT LEVER WOULD NOT MOVE INTO THE PARK POSITION. AS A RESULT, I COULD NOT REMOVE THE KEYS OR STOP THE VEHICLE FROM MOVING WHILE SITTING IN MY GARAGE. I COULD PLACE IT IN ANY GEAR EXCEPT PARK. AFTER LOOKING AROUND THE BASE OF THE SHIFT LEVER, I NOTICED A PART OF A BROKEN SPRING STUCK IN THE PIVOT POINT OF THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER. I REMOVED THE BROKEN SPRING PARTS AND THE SHIFT LEVER WILL NOW MOVE TO PARK. AS A RESULT OF THE RETURN…

I AM CONCERNED THAT GMC IS NEGLECTING A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE CAR FIRES. I CALLED GMC 800)462-8782 AND SPOKE WITH STACY WHAPLES TODAY. SHE WAS NOT THE LEAST CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A REPEAT PROBLEM THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. THE ORIGINAL A/C DELCO WAS REPLACED ON THIS NEW VEHICLE AROUND 1 1/2 YEARS AND AGAIN THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE 2 3/4 YEARS LATER. WHY IS IT A 6 YEAR WARRANTY IF YOU CANNOT EVEN GET HALF OF THAT OUT OF IT SAFELY. AFTER THE FIRST REPLACEMENT GMC SAID I AM NOT ELIGIBLE FOR ANY WARRANTY REGARDLESS IF …

I PURCHASED A 2002 GMC YUKON XL 2 DAYS AGO, SOLD "AS IS" WITH NO WARRANTY. AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SPEEDOMETER ARE THE LIGHTS THAT INDICATE THE POSITION OF THE SHIFTER (PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, OVERDRIVE, AND GEARS 3,2 AND 1) AND ALSO THE ODOMETER READING. THESE INDICATOR LIGHTS WORKED FINE DURING THE TEST DRIVE BUT BECAME INTERMITTENT ON THE DRIVE HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE SINCE THEN. YOU LOSE ALL INDICATION OF WHAT GEAR YOU ARE IN AND OF THE ODOMETER READING. THIS PROBLEM COULD LEAD TO A DRIVER SHIFTING GEARS IMPROPE…
